They Played q Picked Eleven,

The Butte cricketers returned from
Three Forks yesterday morning. They did
not look in as good spirits as when they
left, and they did not ostentatiously court
recognition by their friends. A pensive
sadness overspread their usually jocund
counterances-for they are a Jolly set OF
boys mostly-and a wan. hunted ex-
preston overspread their faces when
asked how they came out on Sunday.
"WelI, I'll tell you" said one of them to
The MINER man, taking him out OF earshot

q square deal at all. We vent there to

Tho Montana Union Gets Credit for Its

Tickets.

The Montana Union Gets Credit for Its
Tickets.
General Minty, Of the Montana Union,
asked the representative OF The M1NERyes.
terday why it was that every rumor to the
prejudice OF the Montana Union was given
the widest publication but never a word
was said t." the credit of the road when it
really deserved it. As soon as the reporter
could recover his breath from the effects OF
this unmerited sockdologer, he was asked to
what he particularly referred and replied:
THE MINER had something this morning
oabut the courtesy ofthe Northern Pacificin
extending the limit upon round-trip tickets
to the races last week. Now the Northern
Pacific could not do so except over it's own
road. The Montana Union extended the
time IN all limited tickets to this evening,
and that South as well as North-to all
points, in fact. on the Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific. Any
OF LIMIT
upon either Of these roads could not be
made without my sanction" continued the
General. And not only that. You can
add that parties holding round trip tickets
between Butte and Garrison have been &C.
corded the privilege OF a layover for the
Deer Lodge races inside the limit of their
tickets"
lis there any reduction OF farel to the
Deer Lodge races?"
! THE Montana Union have agreed with
the Northern Pacific to make one fare from
all points to Deer Lodge during the races
and with the Union Pacific to make a re.
duced spe cial rate. We have also given
stopover privilege at Deer Lodge for all
stock going from Butte to Helena for the
races there of which no mention has been
made"
TIL reporter assured General Minty that
the good deeds done by the Montana Union
would he heralded to the utmost confines
OF the earth, but that hitherto the road
had been hiding its light under a bushel
basket.

As noted by our Billings special, at tn,
meeting of the directory OF the Rocky
Fork & Cooke City Railway Company
held at Laurel Yesterday, an exceedingly
wise selection of officers and directors was
made. While no definite steps have beer
taken toward the construction OF the road
this season, it is probable some work will
be done. Another year will see the %
struction OF a road to the great mines o.
the Clarke's Fork country, and Eastern
Montapa's contribution to the mineral
shipments OF Montana will assist in placing
this Territory far ahead Of any other State
or Territory in the value of it's precious
metal output.

THE r UPRISING.

The outbreak of the Ute Indians in tn,
White River country, Colorado. is the nat
ural outcome OF a policy which has beer
vogue since the settlement Of the West
When treaties are signed. reservations sci
apart, annuities issued and every provis
ion made for the maintenance OF the differ
ent tribes, they are asked to remain within
the confines of the reserves selected. The
Utes, however, like many other bands ir
the West and Northwest, have only in part
obeyed the treaty stipulations. Coloro~
and his following have made no p~retense OF
living upon a reservation, but haveroamed
at will over the ranges and ranches OF the
settlers, killing and driving IF stock, ruth
lessIy slaughteriug game in season and out
of season. and committing every depreda'
ton which they could among settlers, and
keeping them in constant fear of some
thing worse.
It was for theft that a brace OF Colorow'a
thieving v%agabonds were indicted by a
Colorado grand jury, and the attempt o.
an official to take these men into custody
precipiiated the outbreak which has sc
long been smoldering. Since the Meeker
massa ere of 1879 the Utes were ordered
removed to the Uintah reservation, in
Utah, and their former reserve was thrown
open to settlement. Colorow has never
graced the new reservation with his pres.
ence, except, perhaps, as an occasional
visitor when he desired recruits for his rem
egade following. He asserts his right to
roam at will, denies the authority OF the
officers to serve process or make an ar.
rest of any member Of his band, ard bra
zenly aseerts that he is amenable to no
law other thai that OF following his own
i%nclinations.
The present indications point to a final
settlement OF the Indian problem so far az
Colorado Is concerned. The people OF
Colorow have tired OF his ceaseless an
noyances, and with a desire to protect
themselves from future outbreaks and pro.
babe massacre, are in the field. Colo:ow's
defiance OF the law and his resistance OF its
officers render him a fit prison against
WHOM IeptIIIndJe warfare may Ue WdpeU.
He will have to encounter in the present
conflict a class of men who realize the
position in which they will be placed should
the crafty redskin be permitted to go free
after bis open declaration that be was sub
'ect to no law. 1t will be, as it should be,
a war of determination. Not an individual
member OF Colorow's band of warriors who
is in harmony with the sentiments OF his
commander should be permitted to survive.
So long as they do, Indian outbreaks will
be Of frequent occurrence. Dead Indians
do not modest settlers; they cannot steal,
scalp, murder, outrage, terrify, or exert
evil Influence. The settlers are being armed
and achievements are being sent to aid
those at the front. 1t is not Improbable
this week will see the end of the uprising
and efface from the list OF Indian warriors
the name OF Colorow, the cowardly MUIR
derer, whose existence is worthless and
whose decease will be gladly chronicled.

APEX CONSOLIDATED.

The Possible Rival of tho Grant, Noun
tain in Divide Mining DlstrIct-The
Local Pickup.
Some twenty miles out of tho city of
| Butte, over a beautiful drive past Feeley
station, on the Utah & Northern branch of
the Union Pacific, is the Divide mining dis
trict, Mhich will soon be paying it's rich
tribute to the productiveness of the pre-
| cious metals in Silver Bow County. This
splendid property is owned by theC onsoli
dated Apex Company. So far, the develop
ment consists of a shaft, down 200 feet on
a s~even-foot vein which runs on an average
by the assays of$191 to the ton in silver. 1t
is to be set up at once. The company has
secured all of the adjacent claims, which
are quite promising from the prospects,
and also all of the water rights in the dis
trict. Quite a camp has been established,
including a well constructed cabin on the
premises, and the work of development
will be carried on as rapidly as possible.
There are now $25O.OOO in the treasury,
or pledged by bankers of Kansas City, who
are basing their judgment ON the report of
an expert whom they sent out to examine
the property, and who made a report to
which they could but respond with their
wealth. And they will not be dis
appointed, for never before was
seen Il niue in Montana SO big with prom
Use Tor the development as this. We shall
not be surprised to see the Apex the rival
the great Granite. 1t is not a prospect
but a marvellous mine in every essential
and we can but congratulate the principal

ans, on their good fortune. Mr.. Vestel,
the former owner OF the famous Penob-
scot, out OF which he took a half a million.

in his judgment.
LOCAL NOTES.
Sinking commenced on Friday last 1T
the new hoist southwest OF the Colorado
Concentration, sup~erintended by DR.. Lar
kin. A bucket is at present in use, though
preparations are made to put in a cage.
Ibis mine has been located for years, and
in the past has yielded some good ore, and
with0the new and complete hoist lately put
in, the property will be more thoroughly
developed
Charley Carver is said to have discovered
some exceedingly fine ore in his mine, the
California, south Of the Colorado Concen-
traitor. A specimen from there seen last
evening showed up we'll in brittle silver. A
tunnel is run fifty feet, and prosecuting
has been begun. A thirty-foot shaft has
been SUM at the mouth Of the tunnel, and
the prospects are said to look encouraging.
Two shifts of three men each are now
being worked on the 2OO-foot level of the
burlington. producing what is pronounced
some very rich ore, but it is not being
hoisted in any large quantity.
An additional force of men has been put
on at the Nettie in the last few days, and
ore is being shipped to the smelter.
Ground in the neighborhood of the Big
Bonanza is being leased by different parties
in the hope Of reaching the continuation of
the rich chute OF Ore recently discovered
there. The work on two extensions began
day before yesterday.
